RESUMOO presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar os desafios e percalços vivenciados por casais de mulheres para a concretização da maternidade biológica, com o auxílio das novas tecnologias reprodutivas. Foram discutidas as motivações para a utilização de sêmen de doadores anônimos, assim como as razões pela opção por certas características dos referidos doadores. Foram entrevistadas nove mulheres, que vivem em coabitação com outras mulheres e que planejaram a maternidade conjuntamente. A concretização da maternidade por meio de laços biológicos apareceu como prioridade para as mulheres entrevistadas, reproduzindo, de certa forma, um modelo idealizado e tradicional de família. Contudo, a maternidade realizada ao lado de outra mulher originou uma configuração familiar controversa e perturbadora, uma vez que a homoparentalidade, de qualquer tipo, subverte noções prontas de parentesco e, quando atravessada pelas novas tecnologias de reprodução, constituiu-se, necessariamente, como algo inovador.Palavras-chave: homossexualidade; heteronormatividade; relações familiares; técnicas reprodutivas.

ABSTRACTThe present study aimed at analyzing the challenges and difficulties experienced by female couples to materialize biological motherhood, with the support of new reproductive technologies. The motivations to use semen from anonymous donors, as well as the reasons to choose for certain characteristics in the referred donors were discussed. Nine women who live with other women and who had jointly planned motherhood were interviewed. The concretion of motherhood through biological bonds appeared as a priority to interviewed women, reproducing, in some ways, an idealized model of family. However, motherhood performed alongside other woman resulted in a controversial and disturbing family configuration, once homoparenthood of any kind subverts consolidated notions of kinship. When ho...
This article aimed to study the dynamic of same-sex parenting families formed by two women with children who have a biological bond with only one of them. We interviewed nine women -eight of them formed four couples and one was divorced -with ages ranging between 33 and 45 years, with children aging from 2 to 8 years, who were middle-class residents of the state of Rio de Janeiro, and had planned motherhood together using new reproductive technologies with semen from an anonymous donor. The following evaluation categories were discussed: kinship and affective relationship terminology; division of childcare related tasks; and the search for legitimacy. We observed that in the family settings studied, the children, in fact, identified both women as mothers, when both assume the role, demonstrating that the affective bond fulfilled its binding role.
